2015 Alex Cohn Grant recipient announced

Posted on February 19, 2015

Congratulations to Gerlins Marcano ’16, the 2015 winner of the Cohn Grant! Gerlins will use the grant to study Arabic in Amman, Jordan for six weeks. During this time, he will also photograph and interview Jordanian citizens.

Gerlins writes:

This trip will be more than just pursuing my passion for foreign languages. It is going to lift the curtain and provide an accurate look at people in the region that unfortunately is faced with great criticism. What I want to do is use photography as a medium for capturing their humanity.
